We will do that next week at the Balmoral show. Dairy is not scary for me; it is healthy and nutritious, and I enjoy it as part of my daily diet. The Balmoral show will be a great opportunity to showcase the excellent quality food that we have in Northern Ireland, not just to people from Northern Ireland but on a…

I thank the Minister for recognising that uptake of the scheme has reduced. The dairy industry and, indeed, the scheme suffer from insidious advertising by groups such as Viva!, one of the leading vegan charities, which launched a video entitled 'Dairy is Scary'. Will the Minister join me in condemning such…

Thank you, Sian. As I said, I will launch the food strategy framework action plan — we are probably going to develop an acronym for that — at the Balmoral show next week. It will be really important that we follow up on that launch. A key priority in the strategy is to enable improved diet-related health outcomes…

I am keen to keep the scheme. When I was at primary school, I was one of the people involved in selling the milk, so I have a background in this. It provides great nutritional value for young people. I want to consider the survey responses so that we can find better ways to promote and increase uptake. Whilst we are…

I thank the Minister for his answer. When you launched the scheme late last year, you mentioned the decline in participation in it. What action do you propose to address that decline? Is the future of the scheme secure?

It is important that they are laid on time. Having these institutions back is important, as there was a lot of catching up to do as a result of previous periods when the Assembly was not sitting. I am engaging with the Loughs Agency on the issue as it is important to ensure that we keep to a proper procedure.

I strongly believe in the value of the Loughs Agency and cross-border working. I have responded in detail to the questions for written answer that the Member has tabled to me.

I thank the Minister for his answer. The answers to recent questions from me have exposed the fact that the Loughs Agency maintained three boardrooms yet secured zero prosecutions for illegal netting in 2022 and 2024 and very low numbers in other recent years. The commercial salmon fishery has been suspended for many…

I thank the Minister for bringing the order forward. If the extension were not made, the current regulations would fall tomorrow. That would mean that bereaved families would once again have to attend in person to register deaths and stillbirths. It would mean an end to the electronic transfer of documents between…
